Chowkidar

(I gave him all my keys)

 

I gave him all my keys –

he wanders through the quiet halls,

comes and goes freely in my mind.

he enters every secret room of my desires.

 

In the darkness he sees

the tapestry hung on the walls

of my heart. I cant hide behind

my thoughts; he knows which are real and which are the liars.

 

He brings me to my knees –

the bastion of my defense falls

at his slightest touch. he can find

my love before he’s consumed in its reckless fires.
